Why I wanted Porzingis to play if he's good enough to play.

Hard to gauge without our full roster.

I've said it over and over, these younger/up coming teams have no fear of the C's and all seem to show more composure/execution down the stretch of close games than our 7-8 year vets with 100+ Playoff games lol.

At what point does the coach say stop all this nonsense and play some damn basketball? if the coach is doing that and the players aren't listening, what needs to be done?

Nice job resting Porzingis again. Team is full of themselves. Tatum should not have sat last game, Porzingis shouldn’t have sat today. Now we are gonna lose both games and are gonna have to fight to keep the 1 seed instead of having a comfortable cushion just a few days.

Arrogance is what it is. They think they're special, they're not.


Yup. You would think they’re the nuggets are who are the actual champs. This team ain’t good enough to be having their main guys resting against playoff teams all the time

White excels with ball and player movement not standing around.

He’s had plenty of open shots and drives that he’d normally make.

He’s just been completely off for a few games and it’s one of the reasons we’re about to go on a 2 game slide.

Imagine coming to this conclusion based off a random reg season game in early January, without our all-star big man, when we have the best record in the league and currently undefeated at home :crazy:
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I'd rather the play bench more in games than have rest games that puts more strain on rest of starters

It doesn't matter who's next to Mazzulla. It could be Red **** Auerbach telling him what to do and he still wouldn't do it, because in his mind he is the big deal and knows better. **** this guy!

The main actors are soft and so is the coach. It seems like it'll be the same story every year.
